Adding Shape to Wires and Cable Wires
By default, a wire or cable wire is initially created with natural curvature
between the pins to which it is attached. If this curvature is not appropriate
or if the wires or cables wires were created without natural curvature, you can
control the shape by adding and adjusting wire work points on:
■ Unrouted wires and cable wires
■ Wire stubs and cable wire stubs
You cannot add work points to cables or spare cable wires.
NOTE Because all wire and cable wire work points are deleted when routed, we
recommend that you add work points only after routing the wire or cable wire for
the first time.
Once work points are added, you can adjust their location and offset value to
achieve the shape you need.
In the following exercises, you add points on a wire, adjust the points to
change the shape of the wire, and then delete them.
